examples-auto-run
What it does
- Runs
uv run examples/run_examples.py with:
EXAMPLES_INTERACTIVE_MODE=auto (auto-input/auto-approve).
- Per-example logs under
.tmp/examples-start-logs/.
- Main summary log path passed via
--main-log (also under .tmp/examples-start-logs/).
- Generates a rerun list of failures at
.tmp/examples-rerun.txt when --write-rerun is set.
- Provides start/stop/status/logs/tail/collect/rerun helpers via
run.sh.
- Background option keeps the process running with a pidfile;
stop cleans it up.
Usage
.codex/skills/examples-auto-run/scripts/run.sh start [extra args to run_examples.py]
.codex/skills/examples-auto-run/scripts/run.sh start --filter basic
.codex/skills/examples-auto-run/scripts/run.sh start --include-server --include-audio
.codex/skills/examples-auto-run/scripts/run.sh status
.codex/skills/examples-auto-run/scripts/run.sh stop
.codex/skills/examples-auto-run/scripts/run.sh logs
.codex/skills/examples-auto-run/scripts/run.sh tail
.codex/skills/examples-auto-run/scripts/run.sh tail main_20260113-123000.log
.codex/skills/examples-auto-run/scripts/run.sh collect
.codex/skills/examples-auto-run/scripts/run.sh rerun
Defaults (overridable via env)
EXAMPLES_INTERACTIVE_MODE=auto
EXAMPLES_INCLUDE_INTERACTIVE=1
EXAMPLES_INCLUDE_SERVER=0
EXAMPLES_INCLUDE_AUDIO=0
EXAMPLES_INCLUDE_EXTERNAL=0
- Auto-approvals in auto mode:
APPLY_PATCH_AUTO_APPROVE=1, SHELL_AUTO_APPROVE=1, AUTO_APPROVE_MCP=1
Log locations
- Main logs:
.tmp/examples-start-logs/main_*.log
- Per-example logs (from
run_examples.py): .tmp/examples-start-logs/<module_path>.log
- Rerun list:
.tmp/examples-rerun.txt
- Stdout logs:
.tmp/examples-start-logs/stdout_*.log
Notes
- The runner delegates to
uv run examples/run_examples.py, which already writes per-example logs and supports --collect, --rerun-file, and --print-auto-skip.
start uses --write-rerun so failures are captured automatically.
- If
.tmp/examples-rerun.txt exists and is non-empty, invoking the skill with no args runs rerun by default.
Behavioral validation (Codex/LLM responsibility)
The runner does not perform any automated behavioral validation. After every foreground start or rerun, Codex must manually validate all exit-0 entries:
- Read the example source (and comments) to infer intended flow, tools used, and expected key outputs.
- Open the matching per-example log under
.tmp/examples-start-logs/.
- Confirm the intended actions/results occurred; flag omissions or divergences.
- Do this for all passed examples, not just a sample.
- Report immediately after the run with concise citations to the exact log lines that justify the validation.
